Wiebe Wakker

Wiebe Wakker I'm Wiebe Wakker aka the Non-Flying Dutchman. I drove from the Netherlands to Australia in an electric car and I didn't spend a dime.

Now I travel the world as a speaker, sharing my adventures and misadventures, all without stepping on a plane. Hello, I'm Wiebe Wakker, think of me as an eco-friendly Phileas Fogg. I drove from the Netherlands to Australia in an electric car called the Blue Bandit and didn't spend a dime. It's true, I'm as thrifty with my travel budget as I am with carbon emissions! Now, I travel the world as a sp

2025: took risks, evolved, failed, enjoyed it.
Slept too little. Published a book (minor life project). Proud of the outcome.

Made new plans and ideas.
Now working hard to make sure 2026 looks like it was on purpose.

Merry crisis, you filthy animals.
May 2026 be more real, more human and a bit less polished.
Subtle book promotion is overrated anyway.

PS. Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

No AI, I’m really in National Geographic Traveler!

As a student, I used to read this magazine, dreaming of trips that I thought were impossible at the time.

Years later, I drove to Australia in an electric car with no money and ended up in this magazine.

And now even my book about this trip is in it.

My 19-year-old self would probably ask, ‘How?!’

Definitely proud!

Some people might think it’s AI… but most know this totally, absolutely, 100% happened.

Vandaag met mijn boek op de voorpagina van de krant, en ook nog eens twee pagina’s met foto’s!

Grappig eigenlijk: mijn boek gaat er juist over dat de wereld niet zo slecht is als we vaak op het nieuws zien.

Dus… ben ik nou goed nieuws of slecht nieuws?!

I promised to personally deliver the first 10 books… so off we went: me and the Blue Bandit, doing a tiny remake of the 95,000 km road trip.

Still limited to 200 km range. Still charging forever. Still relying on strangers for sockets, coffee and directions.
Basically Plug Me In: The Short Version™

Huge thanks to Hankook Tire Netherlands for the fresh tires, that’s the only thing fresh and steady on my car.

These books are now signed and delivered.

My trip to Australia was survival. For three years.

Sleeping on the front seat, showering in rivers, eating whatever strangers offered… basically the five-star experience, just without the stars.

Back then, “luxury mode” meant finding a socket and Wifi in the same place.

With the new Deepal S07, that story would’ve been a lot shorter… and way more comfortable.

From survival to glamping.

First I was sleeping on strange sofas and now I’m lying in bookshops, good upgrade! Today I saw Plug Me In for the first time among other books, and between real writers. Proof that sitting inside and writing wasn’t just laziness.
